Mica Gem is a more than a fragrance brand, it’s a movement. The idea
behind Mica gem is simple, as people improve their your own lives
through fragrance purchase, they’re helping to save the lives of the
millions of children that die each year from malaria because they
can’t afford an inexpensive mosquito net to sleep under.

With the philosophy of ” One Bottle = One Net = One Life” in mind,
for every bottle of Mica Gem’s Humana fragrance sold, a mosquito net
will be donated to Project Mosquito Net, is a non-profit project
dedicated to providing insecticide treated bed nets to children and
pregnant mothers in Kenya to prevent malaria infections and deaths.

Who is involved in Mica Gem?
* Kayla Ewell, Vicki from The Vampire Diaries
* Samantha James , recording artist
* Mark Moreno, former professional surfer, now an acclaimed DJ/producer
* Forrest Shearer, professional snowboarder and ambassador for
Protect Our Winters

Mica Gem was started by Sarah Reilly, who with her husband Mike, a
three-time national amateur champion and former World Qualifying
Series professional surfer, who saw first hand through their travels
how some of life’s most basic needs aren’t being met for children
around the world. Sarah reached out to her personal network and
brought together a small lineup of family and friends with collective
backgrounds in action sports, philanthropic pursuits and a passion
for fragrance to help the company get off the ground.

I had the opportunity to try the new John Frieda Precision Foam Colour and I love it. The foam is so easy to apply and you don’t have the drip issue the foam made it really easy to work through all my hair. I wish I could share the before and after pics but I was in a rush when I colored to make a pedicure appt. That being said its so quick and easy I was able to color my hair, shower and be made up and out the door in 40 minutes.

This product is so amazing I wanted our readers to be able to try it as well. Our awesome rep has 2  to giveaway to our MakeHerUp readers, see below for the contest.

John Frieda® Precision Foam Colour.

Easy to apply, the non-aerosol foam formula spreads evenly through hair, saturating every strand completely—even the back of the head, roots and hairline. The 20-shade palette collection was developed in conjunction with the John Frieda® Creative Colour Director, and sought-after U.K. colourist, Nicola Clarke, who is responsible for some of the most iconic hair colours in Hollywood. With an array of options for blondes, brunettes and redheads, the collection brings a salon shade spectrum home. No mess, no drips, no stains—just gorgeous hair from every angle. The revolutionary colour even provides 100% grey coverage and vibrant shine with long-lasting results, offering salon precision at home.

HOW TO USE: Squeeze the center of the bottle to dispense foam into a gloved hand and apply directly to hair. Simply massage foam into hair with fingertips to thoroughly cover each strand from root to tip. The foam easily coats even the most hard-to-reach areas, including the back of the head. Let stand for 20 minutes (30 minute for grey coverage) and rinse with lukewarm water until water runs clear. Apply conditioner and leave in for 2-5 minutes before rinsing.
WHAT IT COSTS: $12.99
WHERE TO FIND IT: Food, drug and mass retailers nationwide

Pretty Amazing lipcolor sets the bar pretty high but it not only meet expectations it surpasses them. This has to be one of my favorite lip products in a long time the applicator is soft and bendy so application is a breeze. It applies like a gloss with AMAZING shine but feels denser like a lipstick and the color lasts and lasts and lasts.  I love it!

UPDATE: The more I use Pretty Amazing the more I love it! I went for a girls overnight bachlorette party this weekend and for the first time I only needed one lip gloss, Pretty Amazing!
